“There is an intangible Bement spirit. It involves kindness, integrity, and character... it is this Bement spirit—this way of carrying oneself and interacting with others—that has taken me the farthest.”
Anthony Kwame Harrison '85

“I needed a place that looked at me as a person and that was willing to look at my individual needs as a student. The faculty worked to figure out the best way to support me in how I learned.”
Brahm Callahan '99
